Examples for Enterprise Service

Hi All
Anyone can you give some examples of Enterprise serivices.
and
Difference Between ES and Functional Module.

Raj

Hi,
you can create "normal" web service out of function modules.
Enterprise Services are first modelled in the ESR and then implemented in the NWDS or the ERP.
You can browse for Enterprise Services.. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/explore-es
SAP provides an environment where you can test the enterprise services...

Need an Example for Enterprise Services using PI

Hi
I have been trying to configure and execute the demo - Cancel Flight Booking, but have been facing some issues on the configuration front. So if any of you had done any simpler examples, i would like to go through them. I'm very new to SAP and I want to learn about looking up,invoking enterprise services using PI. So kindly help with providing any custom made simple example with the configuration steps.
Thanks & Regards
Vijay

Enterprise Service consumption

Hi ,
Is it possible to consume an enterprise service via XI. If so what are the steps to consume the web service. Is there any exmples or demo's available??

How to map business process and enterprise service?

Recently, I read some documents about ESA. I'm confusing about the relationship between business process and enterprise service. In other word, how to map the business process to enterprise service after the business process is analyzed? Is there any methodology/rule to define business process and wrap them into service in ESA?

Hi Sherry,
I like to add some of my thoughts about that discussion. From my point of view ESA is much more than just another BPM or Enterprise BPM. ESA is adresses six key areas and I think all of them are really needed:
- People Productivity as the word itself describes...it's about portals and productivity.
- Embedded Analytics has to integrate transactional and analytical content.
- Service Composition is used for model-driven service composition and services orchestration.
- Service Enablement is about a Enterprise Services Repository filled with business meaningful Enterprise Services and service patterns for enabled objects. Excactly this is where SAP has years of experiences.
- Business Process Platform is about service enablement of all application platform objects and engines. This is the place where "BPM" for core business processes resits.
- Life-Cycle Management has to cover the deployment, configuration, operation and change management for ESA based processes.
Therefore the term "BPM" is located in serveral layers of an ESA approach. On the level of Business Process Platform BPM is providing the choreography for core business preocesses.
At Service Enablement BPM needs to compose out of granular services (I would say "atomic" services)
buiness meaningful services (here we have "molecular" services).
The third level where BPM could be used is Service Composition because exactly this is the place
where serveral Enterprise Services could be combined to a process representation.
To come back to the discussion:
1. The question should be how to indentify business meaningful services which could represent single process steps. ATP check, Credit card check, ... could be examples. In theory this service could be out-tasked, defined more flexible etc. This means that processes needs to be evaluated for Enterprise Service candidates. Afterwards you can check against SAP's Enterprise Services Repository for already existing Enterprise Services. The evalution for enterprise services candidates will be supported by the metodology mentioned by Kaj and David.
2. I think domains in this context should be motivated by business and/or functional areas. Depending on the granularity. For example Order Fulfilment Services, Master Data Services, Search Services... These kind of serices can be combined again to services such as "Search of Master Data" (Search Service + Read Master Data Service) etc. or can be used to generate UI to be used in a ESA application.
Your thoughts?

Consume Enterprise Services in Java Application

Hey guys,
I'm very new in this field, maybe you can help me how to start....
I want to call Enterprise Services (asynchronous, provided by SAP) from an external java application. Therefore I want to configure a integration scenario between two business systems: java application (consumer) and sap application system (service provider). Maybe you can help me to answer the following questions.
1) What kind of adapter I have to use in communication channels?
2) Have I to define outbound/inbound interfaces for Communication Component "sender" (business system: java application)?
2) How does the communication between the java application and IS work? What kind of API I have to use - some kind of advanced adapter engine ... JCO, JCA ???
Is there any demo scenario from sap? Please help me to start
Kind regards,
Christian

Hello,
problem is you are using wsimport on web-service which uses RPC/encoding. Wsimport use JAX-WS so it is not able read it.
You should wscompile.bat instead it.
Here is example :
wscompile.bat -gen:client -d build/classes -s src -keep config.xml
(-gen:client -says to generate classes for client
-d - directory where to store classes
-s - directory where to store sources
-keep - to keep source file
xml file
Where config.xml looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
<wsdl location=
"http://something/yourws?wsdl"
packageName="org.your.package.client"/>
</configuration>
I hope it will help.
best regards

Mapping ALE functionality to Enterprise Services

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am in an assignment to leverage Enterprise Services in the project and as part of it i need to understand how we can use Enterprise Services for the following requirements which are well supported by ALE/Idoc functionality.
1) Master Data Distribution - We have ALE Change Pointers mechanism to track the changes done to the master data (Customer/Material/Vendor) and we can process the changes and create the idocs for the same by EOD. Changes are tracked based on the field level and interface level(Message Type). How can we leverage this change pointer mechanism in Enterprise Services.
2) Best practice to trigger the Outbound enterprise services from ECC system.
3) There are various tools to monitor IDOCs in ECC, what all are the tolls/transactions for monitoring the Enterprise Service.
4) What is your view on IDOC V/s Enterprise Service
Regards,
Pras

Hi Prasanna,
These are two quite different technologies and framework here that your questions are about. One is SMD (Shared Master Data) tool which involves change pointers & IDocs and the other is an Enterprise Service for example an ABAP Proxy or a Web Service.
1. Why would a customer want to do that especially for standard master data applications like Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master etc? I mean I don't understand the benefit of it when all these standard applications already support SMD. If a customer really wants these same functionalities via an Enterprise Service then they basically have to develop more custom applications to support this - for e.g. a Z program which will essentially replace BD21 to process the change pointers (CP) per application i.e. call the associated ABAP Proxy which will then create/do not create IDocs, process the CP by applying business logic, generate XML for PI to distribute further, email/do not email business owner, change the status of the CP depending on the outcome of the processing, exception handling etc. etc. But this whole thing, in my view, is cumbersome and sort of unnecessary as most of these things could be achieved via the SMD tool (except creating the IDoc itself of course!)
The other way, to totally get rid of the CPs and process every change via ES - one would have to enhance all applications in question to call the ES (ABAP Proxy) at the time of master data change! There is no equivalent of BD64 in ES so I don't understand the purpose to be honest.
2. In my view, to trigger it as an Outbound Proxy or Client Proxy via Method call.
3. SXMB_MONI
4. Like I said in the beginning, its like comparing two different technologies - I guess in the end it comes down to the business requirement at hand. Both can be very efficient (or very inefficient if deployed incorrectly).
Cheers,
Sougata.

Itu2019s not a problem with host or port inaccessibility (I already got access to start page, sld, Runtime WorkBench, etc.).
Letu2019s look closer to, for example, library url : http://v2:51400/run/repository/com.sap.xpi.ibrep.client.jar (taken from jnlp file content). When I paste it to the browser I get error u201CThe requested resource does not exist.u201D (as I expected). So I have changed root in the url from u201Crunu201D to u201Crepu201D (correspondingly to XI 3.0 and PI 7.0) u2013 http://v2:51400/rep/repository/com.sap.xpi.ibrep.client.jar and I succeed in downloading single library file!!!!.
But!!!! I canu2019t change jnlp file content either on client (because itu2019s overwritten every time I launch the application) and server (because it is generated form template and system properties every time I launch the application) side, so itu2019s not solution but shows that there is something wrong with library resources or/and with jnlp script generation on PI 7.1 platform (why urls in jnlp script points to resources which does not exists in expected location?).
The question is : How to run properly Enterprise Services Builder and Integration Builder Directory on PI 7.1 platform and what is the reason of errors I have described above.

Hi Szymon,
thanks for the suggestion.
I had a a bit spot of bother, too.
I found out that my Java didn't inherit browser proxy settings, even if corresponding flag was checked (I don't know why...).
I manually set proxy properties in Java and now ESB run
hope this help someone else

Understand the technical base for Enterprise Services?

Hi all,
I am trying to understand what is the technical base for enterprise services and the restrictions when activating them. The best documents I have found are:
Note 1566412 u2013 Enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0.
Note 1359215 u2013 Technical prerequisites for using enterprise services
sdn blog u201CDetermin the SOA readiness of your System with the ES Workplace (Part 1 and 2)
EHP Master Guide - https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001183052011E
The documents are quite informative, however there are still questions. Maybe someone can shed some light of these:
1.) Is my understanding correct that Enterprise services can have three different base u201Cmodulesu201D?:
a. An EHP (with relation to a business function).
b. The swc u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D (without relation to a business function). E.G. ES Bundle "Bank Communication Management".
c. The SWC u201CSAP APPLu201D (without relation to a business function). E.G. u201CBusinessPartnerERPUpdateRequestConfirmation_Inu201D
2.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services (bundles) that rely on business functions after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
3.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services with base u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
4.) Is SWC u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D a u201Ctechnicalu201D business function, whose activation cannot be reverted either? If yes what effect has the activation von u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D on the current ERP customizing?
5.) How do the Enterprise Services relate with Service Interface definitions from SAP Process Integration (XI Content)?
Do I need the XI Content with the service interfaces in ES Repository (and SPROXY) only if the communication is B2B (with PI) or also if the communication is Point-2-Point (without PI)?
Thanks for your feedback!
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'll try and provide answers where I can...
1.) Is my understanding correct that Enterprise services can have three different base u201Cmodulesu201D?:
I personally don't agree with this understanding. Enterprise Services would always relate to some or other business function, unless we have a different understanding of what "Business Function" means . What changes is how the Enterprise Services (or versions of them) are delivered.
SAP APPL for example would be relevant to most of the enterprise services shipped with a standard ECC EHP*. So it will relate to the business functionality for the applications that are shipped with an ECC installation.
2.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services (bundles) that rely on business functions after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
I don't understand this question but I'll try and offer a generic answer. You can activate/use Enterprise Services whenever you want to as long as they are already available in your current installation. If they are only available in an EHP that you don't have yet then you will need to upgrade (but I also seem to recall some workarounds - SAP notes - as an alternative to upgrading).
3.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services with base u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
You decide when you would like to activate it, it's generally after. SAP will ship them anyway.
4.) Is SWC u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D a u201Ctechnicalu201D business function, whose activation cannot be reverted either? If yes what effect has the activation von u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D on the current ERP customizing?
There is a tool call Impact Analyzer, read up a little on it. It allows you to do an impact analysis before activating. It might also help posting a separate thread on of the ECC functional forums here on SCN for more impact analysis. I'm not sure if the activation can be reverted.
5.) How do the Enterprise Services relate with Service Interface definitions from SAP Process Integration (XI Content)?
The XI Content is the design equivalent of the Enterprise Services as you see them in SPROXY. It's only relevant in certain cases, examples:
- If you want to enhance standard SAP Enterprise Services
- If you want to do additional transformation/s & routing.
If you are planning P2P type communication, then the XI content is not relevant. One thing to be aware of though is if you have your backend ECC system connected to your PI ESR, the view that you get in SPROXY will reflect the SWC view of the ESR. So you might want to download the XI Content & import it into your PI ESR anyway.

Enterprise Service: Find supplier using Product name or Product ID

Hello,
 I'm looking for an Enterprise Service to find suppliers who are selling a particular product by entering product name or ID as input...
 I searched in ESworkplace and I could'nt find one, other than finding using supplier ID...
 Does anyone have this service or know where I can find this Service please?

Here you are. As you see, it's quite complicated -- InDesign needs a destination URL, a virtual hyperlink, and an instance of this virtual hyperlink. All in all it took me a couple of tries before I got it right. (It didn't help your example URLs don't exist yet )
d = app.activeDocument;
url_style = d.characterStyles.item("URL style name");
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\<AD\\w+[\\dx]\\>";
sourceList = d.findGrep();
for (l=0; l<sourceList.length; l++)
 link = d.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add ( "http://www.corpsite.com/"+sourceList[l].contents);
 d.hyperlinks.add ( d.hyperlinkTextSources.add (sourceList[l]), link ).name = sourceList[l].contents+" ("+l+")";
 sourceList[l].appliedCharacterStyle = url_style;

Description of enterprise service message types

Hello people,
I'd like to know where to find the description of the parameters of enterpise service operations. For example the operation "Create Invoice" (Process Component: SRM) needs a lot of input parameters. I took a look into the Integration Builder from the ESR, but there was no description for the different message types.
The problem is: For example I wonder what is the difference between seller party and vendor party or what BillToID means. Without the knowledge of the meaning of the parameters I can't do an invocation.
If anybody could tell me where to find these information, this would help me very much.
BTW: Does anybody know a Test-SRM-Server that has an Invoice-ES that I could invoke?
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Hello Michael,
have you checked out the ES Workplace yet?
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace</a>
You get the complete message structure with all parameters for "Create Invoice" and all other enterprise services from there.
Navigation path is Enterprise Services by Process Components -> Customer Invoice Processing (under SRM) -> Enterprise Service Operation Create Invoice -> detailed field description.
For an SRM testing system, please check

SAP XI versus Sonic's Enterprise Service Bus

Hi,
Question 1:
In David Chappell's book 'Enterprise Service Bus', the Sonic ESB is described. He says that the ESB is more than a hub-and-spoke integration broker: ESB is a MOM and above that several 'generic' services, which handle the traffic and routing on the bus, for instance:
- Transformation service
- Content based routing service
- Orchestration service
- Splitter service
- Etc.
Is this concept adopted in ESA? If so how is this functionality implemented?
Question 2a: does XI uses xCBL as a XML-dialect?
Question 2b: does XI make use of the canonical-XML concept (by using xCBL) ?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings Theo

As answer on question 1:
No I never found any documentation from SAP that described a ESB solution. So al the knowledge must come from other vendors in your case from Sonic.
But there is hope you can use XI in a ESB way. You must only (add) configure the ESB parts. This is done by adding a service repository for example the UDDI server in combination with some BPML engine.
By adding it al together you can execute your business processes over multiple system platforms using SOAP in a synchronic way.
This is the basic concept of a ESB.
The answer to question 2.
I dont know if XI has build in support, but a know that there are free tools that can handle Canonical XML. So you can make a service your self to handle the Canonical XML documents.

Regd. Enhancement of Enterprise service

Hi Experts,
I have few doubts
1. We can enhance the Enterprise service using data type enhancement and implementing BADI is sap.But what is the BADI name
is not known, from where i can get the details.
Suppose we implemet the BADI , at the end we will be calling the same service or enhanced service.
2.If we have a syncrounous service interface which comes with ESR content. Can we copy only outbound part of the structure and use it for outbound. I tried but i am getting refrence not copied error and the activation is not happening
Regards,
Abhi

Hello,
In ES Work Place, please see the bottom of the Documentation 'Notes on SAP Implementation' to see the applicable BADI's for a Web Service. Please see the link as an example: [http://esworkplace.sap.com/socoview(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZkPW1pbg==)/render.asp?packageid=DE0426DD9B0249F19515001A64D3F462&id=BCF1F934AC4F11DB2B24000F20DAC9EF]
If you copy outbound part of a Synchronous Service, it will be like a Consumer proxy. Why do you want to do this?
Thanks,
Venu

Basic questions on Enterprise Services

Hello,
I have a few open questions on the topic for myself and hope that you can help me to answer them:
1) In my Systemlandscape I have several ECC 6.0 systems and a PI system. Now if I want to use a SAP standard webservice, let's say some of the customer fact sheet webservices.. what would be the procedure?
Would I need to identify which packages the content is in and then download these packages from SAP service marketplace? And has this to be done on PI side or on the backend side? Or both?
If I then want to use one of those standard webservices, e.g. "Find Customer Address Basic Data by Name and Address", where would the service call be directed to? To SAP PI or to the backend system?
2) If I have a Webservice which should extract mass data, e.g. data about all customers - would this be a feasible web service scenario? Or a web services only used to extract single customers in general? I wonder about things like performance, timeouts, error handling, etc.
3) Composition
What tool is at the moment used for composing web services? Is it some design tool on PI (BPM?) or is it rather Visual Composer on CE or even WebDynpro (ABAP or Java?)
I hope you can help me to clear up some of these questions.
Best Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Answers to your questions:
Would I need to identify which packages the content is in and then download these packages from SAP service marketplace? And has this to be done on PI side or on the backend side? Or both?
You need to ensure that the content exists on both if you want to use SAP PI to customize the SAP standard enterprise services & create proxies in the back-end (ECC). You could also just use the standard services as they come shipped from SAP, in that case you just need to ensure that the content exists in ECC.
If I then want to use one of those standard webservices, e.g. "Find Customer Address Basic Data by Name and Address", where would the service call be directed to? To SAP PI or to the backend system?
It depends how you set up your scenario. You could have the web service mediated through SAP PI or another ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) using different technology. In that case, the service call will be directed to SAP (or ESB) & then the back-end. You could also setup a point-to-point scenario where the service call is routed from the consumer straight to the back-end. Ultimately, the call has to reach the ECC back-end to process, what changes is what is put in betwwen the consumer & the ECC back-end.
If I have a Webservice which should extract mass data, e.g. data about all customers - would this be a feasible web service scenario? Or a web services only used to extract single customers in general? I wonder about things like performance, timeouts, error handling, etc.
I wouldn't recommend this kind of scenario when using web services. It would more relevant for maybe batch or asynchronous scenarios, also maybe mediated through SAP PI. All your concerns are valid.
What tool is at the moment used for composing web services? Is it some design tool on PI (BPM?) or is it rather Visual Composer on CE or even WebDynpro (ABAP or Java?)
This question isn't all that clear. For web services 'Composition' you can use the ESR (Enterprise Service Repository) that comes shipped with SAP PI or SAP CE. ccBPM in SAP PI is used for async messaging so that can't work for web services.
For 'Orchestration' of web services, SAP CE would be your preferred tool & you could also use Netweaver BPM that comes with CE to orchestrate several web service calls for a specific business process. This doesn't stop you from using anything else (like Java for example) to do your orchestration but you want the flexibility of being able to change a business process on the fly & SAP CE with BPM provides this.

Enterprise Services, Service Operations and Functional Business Component

Hi,
in the Enterprise Service desing guide (see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40c05360-0501-0010-63bd-aedd415b6e05 ) the relations between Enterprise Services and Service Operations are covered.
I understand that one Enterprise Service consists of one or more Service Operations. For Example General Ledger Processing ES offers seven Service Operations. (See Solution Composer)
Functional Business Components offer one or more Enterprise Services and several Service Operations. As mentioned in the Design Guide, an Enterprise Services is dedicated to a certain Functional Business Component. An Enterprise Service could use several Service Operations of one ore more Functional Business Components.
When browsing the Solution Composer I couldn't discover any Enterprise Service that uses Service Operations of more than one Functional Component.
Here's my question: Does anyone know an Enterprise Service described in the Solution Composer which uses Service Operations of several Functional Business Components? If there aren't any, why?
Regards,
Sebastian

Sebastian,
I haven't looked through the entire set of preview services, but most of what I have seen is consistent with what you are describing. I think the short answer is the ESA preview system is really a pre-release of the intial ESR which itself is essentially an extension of XI's integration repository. These are basically the finer grained object and interface level services.
SAP should be releasing some significant content updates to this ESR after NW2004S goes GA later this year. More importantly the next edition of the ESR tied to the BPP release will greatly expand on the scope including containing the more complex service defintions and process models which cut across components that you are looking for.
